Pigmentary Disorders

Disorders of skin pigmentation have an impact on skin colour. While some pigmentation disorders only affect a small portion of the skin, others affect the entire body. Skin with an excess of melanin is dark, whereas skin with an insufficient amount is light. Sun exposure, pregnancy, and Addison's disease are all potential causes of skin darkening. On the other hand, vitiligo causes areas of the skin to become lighter. A hereditary condition associated with skin colour is albinism. A person with albinism may be colour-blind, have lighter skin than average, or have uneven skin where some parts lack colour
